Section 36

Nothing in the terms and conditions to be drawn up by the Authority is to adversely affect the conditions that would have been applicable to persons transferred to the service of the Authority as regards any pension, gratuity or allowance payable under the Pensions Act 1956.

In every case where a person employed by the Government in the Planning Department or the Research and Statistics Unit has been transferred to the service of the Authority under section 34, the Government shall be liable to pay to the Authority such portion of any gratuity, pension or allowance payable to such person on his or her retirement or otherwise leaving the service of the Authority as the same bears to the proportion which the aggregate amount of the person’s pensionable emoluments during his or her service with the Government bears to the aggregate amount of the person’s pensionable emoluments during his or her service under both the Government and the Authority.

Where any person in the service of the Authority whose case does not come within the scope and effect of any pension or other schemes mentioned in this section, retires or dies in the service of the Authority or is discharged from such service, the Authority may grant to the person or to such other person or persons wholly or partly dependent on him or her, as the Authority may think fit, such allowance or gratuity as the Authority may determine.

Where any person who is transferred to the service of the Authority under section 34 is a contributor under the Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Act 1904, the person must for the purposes of that Act continue to make contributions under that Act as if he or she had not been transferred to the service of the Authority, and for the purposes of that Act the person’s service with the Authority is deemed to be service with the Government.
